Site updates!  
Hand on Heart, the Buffy/Xander, Buffy&Xander archive, now has a snazzy new layout which is finally fandom specific! Yay! The images are from the episode Phases, the "Shoulda, woulda, coulda" moment as I've come to call it, and I'm pretty damn happy with how it turned out!

Effects of a Troubled Heart, the Faith/Xander, Faith&Xander archive and site, has also been reworked. The basic design of the pages remains the same, the difference is where the archive can be found. I've moved it over to an automated archive and it can now be found here. (Again, with a fandom specific banner - this time from The Zeppo). There is also a matching wallpaper in the Effects of a Troubled Heart 'extras' pages. All existing stories have been moved onto the automated archive and there are three new stories added as well.

I'm really looking forward to seeing these sites continue to grow and can't wait to see what you come up with! I am working on a way to incorpate an automated graphics archive into both of these sites, at the moment the best option I have only allows .png and .jpg files to be uploaded, thus meaning animated .gifs and the like can't be displayed. If anyone knows of any open-source scripts out there for multiple-user galleries, can you point me in their direction?

I am currently working on the nominees emails for WKA and want to have some new 'I'm nominated!' buttons (and LJ icons) done before I finally send them out - that will be today though.

I Need a Parrot now has the two original skins designed by Kayla Shay and [livejournal.com profile] gumboy back up and I'm hoping to open up a contest to design more skins in the very near future.

The newest site I mentioned a while ago - the Slayers' site - is still on the books. I'm not rushing ahead with that one, I would like it ultimately to be a resource site as well as a fiction/art archive and as such I want to spend a while compiling the content before I go ahead with it. It will be happening though.

Okay, I think that's about it - that's what's going on with the sites at the moment, all of them are being worked on continuously but I sometimes forget that I haven't mentioned it all to people!

Hand on Heart is very pretty. I can't wait to explore it some more.

What type of content did you want for the Slayers site? As in are you looking for essays and the such? If so I might be able to help provide some.

Thank you! And yup, essays would be wonderful - have you seen the site Faithsolace.com? I'd love this to be something along those lines.

Those look way neat!

Thank you! Now, what will it take to convince you to write current Slayer fic and maybe have some B/X from you?

From your writing, and from knowing you, I think you would come up with something amazing...

Well, I have made a start on my Africander, which will include current Slayers, though the bunny just hasn't been biting the way I'd hoped.

Yeah, some post-Chosen would be a good idea. When I can really sit down and get my ideas thrashed out. B/X? Hmmm.... far from impossible. I've only once written a 'pairing' based fic though, and that was a short one and o/c Slayer-Watcher. Plus the Slayer-Watcher pairing in SQ, though that was just a part of the story.

But atm I sort of feel under obligation to work on Africander before anything else - I only put out TotF because it was already in the pipeline.

And I do hope we will see some more of your little unfinished B/X one day! It's so good!

Hey, thanks again for finding my humble effort worthy of inclusion. Glad you got the original version of Maps as well.

Humble? So not the word I would use! Your story is wonderful, and I have your Faith series bookmarked to read once I have some spare time this weekend.

:)

Wow! You've really accomplished things lately!

BTW, did you ever use the word "tyro" with that gal at work?

Heh - yeah, I've been keeping myself busy lately, that much is true!

I never got the opportunity, she's kinda been avoiding me since she told me she no longer needed my help. Heh!

Too bad, I would love to have seen her flummoxed!
